Radial focusing and energy compression of a laser-produced proton beam by a synchronous rf field

Radial focusing and energy compression of a laser-produced proton beam by a synchronous rf field

The dynamics of a MeV laser-produced proton beam affected by a radio frequency (rf) electric field has been studied. The proton beam was emitted normal to the rear surface of a thin polyimide target irradiated with an ultrashort pulsed laser with a power density of 4×10^{18}  W/cm^{2}. The energy sp...
